Fight the Good Fight of Faith, English Edition

 • Fight the Good Fight of Faith: Playing Your Part in God’s Unfolding Drama

(2 Timothy 2.3-4). The attacks of the enemy in the form of lies, accusations, condemnations, and negativity can be constant. Learning to fight involves learning to be persistent, to be disciplined and faithful. The more you use the armor of God in your fight against the lies of the enemy, the more you will stand in his victory. Be patient and wait on the Lord. The Appendices you should study and meditate upon relevant to this lesson are the following: How to Start Reading the Bible (App. 3) Understanding the Bible in Parts and Whole (App. 13) Summary Outline of the Scriptures (App. 17) Chronological Table of the New Testament (App.18) Communicating Messiah: The Relationship of the Gospels (App. 19) Let God Arise! The Seven “A’s” of Seeking the Lord and Entreating His Favor (App. 23) The real problem of the Christian life comes the very moment you wake up each morning. All your wishes and hopes for the day rush at you like wild animals. And the first job each morning consists simply in shoving them all back; in listening to that other voice, taking that other point of view, letting that other larger, stronger, quieter life come flowing in. And so on, all day. We can only do it for moments at first. But from those moments the new sort of life will be spreading through our system; because now we are letting Him work at the right part of us. It is the difference between paint, which is merely laid on the surface, and a dye or stain which soaks through and through. ~ C. S. Lewis. Richard J. Foster and James Bryan Smith, Eds.
